    The only disadvantage of the property is that it is a basement flat which means natural light and ventilation aren't the best but not a major issue either.

    The location is great and only a short walk from the beach. Majella provided help with the ferry over and clear instructions on how to get to the property. It was easy to find free parking nearby. The property was very clean with big spacious rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is fully equipped. The decor and lighting make the place even more comfy. Would highly recommend.

    A stunning little basement flat. Beautifully decorated with all mod cons and immaculately clean. No noise from the floor above or outside. It really was perfect. Nice comfortable beds and sofa. Would definitely go back. Situated about 1-minute walk from the beach.

    This apartment was just perfect for our family. It was lovely and cosy and the owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay was extra special. The location of the property is ideal, and we walked down to the beach in less than 5 minutes. The rooms were lovely and tidy and the owner, Majella, had clearly put a lot of effort into making things extra special for us both when we arrived and through her contact with us during our stay. A true home away from home, we didn't want to leave!! Would highly recommend!!!

    Although everything was reasonably clean there were some things that could have had a bit more TLC - like the kettle for example. We had to give it a good descale before we were happy to use it. Overall it was clean enough to be comfortable.

    Very comfortable stay in a well equipped little apartment. We had everything that we needed. It is close to the beach and to town of Ventnor. It was easy to walk from the apartment to different locations. It is in a quiet location. We enjoyed our stay.

    The en-suite didn’t have an extractor fan and this may have contributed to the damp feeling in the master bedroom? No outdoor space for a group to sit.

    Nice location and well furnished. Majella was very helpful and responsive with ferry ticket discounts, car parking advice and even a welcome bottle of wine!

    The apartment was very spacious so as a family we had plenty of space. The interior of the apartment was beautifully decorated and had wonderful furnishings which suited the character of the building. The extra bits like towels, bedding and washing up liquid etc...was an added bonus. The apartment was definitely in a great location and would definitely use it again in the future.

    A brilliant place to stay if visiting Ventnor, perfect location and host!

    Not a criticism of the place, as we knew what we had booked (lower ground floor flat), but if we were coming during the summer months with our kids, we'd probably want somewhere with some outside space in order to be able to sit out in the evenings.

    This is such a lovely place to stay. We visited IOW for a few nights with our 2 kids (age 6 and 1) and Ventnor was the perfect base - all of the activities and day trips we wanted to do were within a 20-30mins drive. Everywhere in town (to eat and drink) was very welcoming and family friendly. We found Casaurina to be a brilliant place to stay - the location is ideal (walking distance to everything in town), it was kid friendly and felt spacious enough for us all (nice to have 2 bathrooms). Majella is a perfect host; she couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying at Casaurina if you're visiting IOW.

    The stairs down to the entrance were a little tricky to negotiate but that was due to my lack of mobility.

    The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. The view from outside was stunning. The host was very helpful and friendly although we only had telephone contact. A nice touch was the “welcome”wine plus a selection of basic necessities (coffee, tea, milk etc.). The apartment was also close to the centre of all the amenities we would need.

    This is a small, personal thing but it would have been nice if maybe the bottom half the windows in the kitchen/lounge area were free of the privacy film so we could see the outside.

    Beautiful, welcoming apartment!

    Parking is a bit of a pain but nothing that is in the control of the host so more of an FYI than a criticism. There is free parking a stones throw from the apartment itself which would be ideal but it is small and very often full. The next nearest free parking is a little further, perhaps only 4 minutes walking, and up a steep(ish) hill. We had two small children with us so we tended to unload at the nearest parking if there were no spaces available and then park up at the further one in relative comfort.

    Brilliant host and a truly wonderful apartment to stay in. Clean and beautifully presented, we felt at home the moment we arrived. Communication from the host was excellent right from the start with clear and concise instructions on how to get there, find parking and collect the key. More information once inside told us all we needed to know about the apartment, where the facilities were and had a wealth of information on things like where to eat which was a great help. The location is fantastic with the town centre a few steps away and the beach almost as close. We would come back here again in a heartbeat!
